Program Description:
<p>The Pachamama Alliance
understands that indigenous people are the rainforests' natural custodians
and, thus, the key strategies of our alliance focus on empowering them
to stand for and represent their own interests as a modern world encroaches
on their land and way of living.</p><div> </div>
<p>One of our initiatives
is to support the governance processes of our partners—including the
Achuar, Shuar, Shiwiar, Zapara and Kichwa—with tools and strategies
to strengthen their areas of decision making and accountability as well
as administrative capacity, including accounting, planning and leadership
evaluation.</p><div> </div>
<p>We also work to strengthen
the capacity of our partners to advocate for their rights collectively
through the formation of networks and alliances. We assist in their
efforts by forming advocacy strategies and developing proposals to promote
changes in legal and institutional frameworks that encourage respect
for human rights and nature. </p>

Program Description:
<p>
</p>
<p>The invitation from our
South American allies was clear: if we really want to help them, we
need to go to work in <em>our </em>part of the world.</p><div> </div>
<p>The Pachamama Alliance's
response to the request from the Achuar is the Awakening the Dreamer
Initiative, which aims to wake people up from the destructive dream
that is currently devouring the planet, and to inspire us to step consciously
into a new dream–the pursuit of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually
fulfilling and socially just human presence on this Earth.</p><div> </div>
<p>Right now, the principal
focus of our energy in this area is the <em>Awakening the Dreamer: Changing
the Dream Symposium</em>, a half-day workshop designed to awaken and
inspire people to take action in pursuit of this vision. The aim of
the Symposium is to grapple with and reconcile the very assumptions
that underlie the way we see the world and our place in it, and with
what each of us can do - both individually and cooperatively - to move
the world in this new direction.</p>
